Excellent event
 

My first visit to the Weald of Kent rally. Excellent venue - large open spaces where engines were trundling around. Two Burrell Scenics - No 1. and Winston Churchill side by side. Huge Ottemeyer Ploughing engine v impressive. Recommend for next year.

Well done to Andy for his stewardship of the miniatures and of course a big thanks for Bill for putting it on. A really excellent weekend (weather must have been booked specially!). Plenty of room to mooch around, no sign of men in yellow jackets ordering people about, fantastic parade of engines in the ring, plenty of variety of stuff from tractors to military vehicles to steam. Everyone I spoke to thought it was fantastic. For a rally only in its second year the number and variety of exhibits was incredible - almost forgot to mention the planes! Sadly not knowing anything about them I can't really speak about them other than they were very shiny and the opportunity to walk round them up close for a good look on the ground was great.

Sorry no pictures, was too busy playing with the engine, did take a little video on my mini camera but not down loaded it yet to see how it came out!
